Detailing Nerd's Wet Dream

This is a shop in Edmonton, Alberta. Kind of a neat tour and lots of ideas for you detailer guys. I'm sure @War Machine will appreciate it. They might not be quite up to @Prostar 190 's standards though.

Never been but carzilla in Calgary is a cool place. Good prices too.

 

I order most of my cleaning products from Carzilla. They're great.

 

I need to quit buying pocket knives so I can afford a place like that. I wouldn’t brag about fluorescent lighting though.

 

He's Canadian. LED is the new new. Takes a bit for us to catch up to the rest of civilization.

 

we are in Edmonton next week. Tundra is getting a “sublime” rust proofing @sublime surfacing. Going to check out auto obsessed. I’ve ordered a few times from them, but never in person, and carzilla is my go to.

I’ve been to 2 different carzilla locations. We will be driving through Calgary. I’m always scared to go into carzilla. It’s like Costco. Go in for a bottle of polish, and come out with a Bigboi dryer!

side note: why did you choose the black Armour bet mat over the OEM? My tundra came with a bed mat but they are back ordered. Was thinking of asking dealer for my money back and getting the black Armour

 

That’s actually true. It’s kind of charming

 

When I bought the Black Armour mat, it was on sale with free shipping so it came out cheaper than OEM. It's also a bit thicker at 1/2" vs OEM at 3/8".

There was also a bit of spite involved because the dealer wouldn't throw in a bed mat for free when I bought the truck. Almost $60K on a truck and warranty and I bought the console vault and running boards through them but throwing in a $200 bed mat was too much. So Black Armour it was.

 

who did you order the mat from? Action?

dealers are weird. In 2018 we bought a new rav. It’s Toyota’s best selling, and most popular vehicle. No movement on price. But I was able to get a “free” remote start thrown in.

my 2024 tundra no movement on anything. I also tried for a “free” bed mat. Nope. Had to pay, AND they didn’t tell me it was back ordered. Was expecting it on delivery.


I like how the black Armour is cut to fit the cut outs for the 2 x 4 lumber dividers.

also liking the extra thickness (weight). 100lb bed mat + 125lb diamondback cover = better winter traction.

 

I ordered direct from Black Armour. I really like the custom cut too, it looks so good.
